My Russia: War or Peace? by Mikhail Shishkin
A passionate, eye-opening account of a state entangled in a complex and bloody past, as well as a love letter to a conflicted country.
Shishkin is the most prominent Russian novelist of his generationTo compare him to Solzhenitsyn is no exaggeration... [An] important book * Sunday Times *
An elegant blend of history, biography and polemic * Daily Telegraph *
Often sings with powerfully estranged, original observations... minutiae and grand philosophy collide on every page. * Boris Fishman, The New York Times Book Review (on The Light and The Dark) *
Shishkin is interested in what is most precious and singular in classic Russian fiction: the passionate inquiry into what, in Maidenhair, is called the 'soul, quintessence, pollen.' * Sam Sacks, The Wall Street Journal (on The Light and The Dark) *
